- [Cardiac Tumors] were first described by [Realdo Colombo] in [1559].[1]
- In [1936], [Beck and Maurer] were the first to resect right ventricular teratoma. They also resected a left ventricular lipoma in 1951.[2]
- In [1952], left atrial myxoma was successfully excised by [Bahnson and Newman] through a right atriotomy. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to the procedure after 24 days.[3]
Landmark events in the development of treatment strategies
- In [1954], [Dr. Clarence Crafoord] from Sweden reported the first successful removal of left atrial myxoma in a 40-year-old female presenting with dizziness and transient hemiparesis caused by myxoma.The patient survived for more than 40 years after her surgery.[1]
- [Dr. Senning] and his team developed perfusion system to ease cardiac surgeries. The Perfusion system comprised of hypothermia, flow, and ventricular fibrillation to prevent embolism.[1]
- In [July 1954], they used it for the first time in the excision of left atrial myxoma, performed by [Dr. Crafoord]. This was a milestone surgery in developing [Extracorporeal perfusion system].[1]
